Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Organisms can enter the body by way of the contact route, either directly or indirectly. Direct contact involves proximity between the susceptible host and an infected person or a carrier, such as through touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse. Mononucleosis can be spread through direct contact with saliva, mucus from the nose and throat, and sometimes tears.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Some of the more prevalent agents that cause infection are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Bacteria are the most significant and most commonly observed infection-causing agents in health care institutions.
